112 Learning the *Language* of My Body: From Hormones to Macros

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Sami shares a vulnerable reflection on a recent week where her energy felt unusually low, her step count dropped, and she found herself questioning her motivation, capacity, and even parts of her personal life. What initially felt like “falling off” turned into an important reminder of how deeply the phases of the menstrual cycle influence mood, hunger, energy, and daily performance.Sami walks listeners through the powerful realization that understanding where you are in your cycle can shift self-judgment into self-awareness. She explains how recognizing her luteal phase helped her normalize increased hunger, emotional heaviness, and the need for more rest instead of labeling herself as lazy or undisciplined. From there, she connects this hormonal awareness to another life-changing tool that has strengthened her relationship with food: tracking macros.Listeners will learn how awareness of both hormones and nutritional intake creates clarity, reduces food noise, and allows you to work with your body instead of against it, especially during fat-loss phases. Sami shares how understanding these patterns has helped her stay consistent, compassionate with herself, and confident in her decisions around fueling her body.If you are ready to stop guessing about your intake, better understand your hunger, and learn how to fuel your body with confidence, Sami invites you to join her live “What the F Are Macros?” masterclass happening this Sunday 2/22 @&PM CST. Save your spot here & I'll see you there! If today’s episode spoke to you, imagine what could happen if you had daily support, accountability and an entire sisterhood doing this with you.
